Critical recommendations
highBatting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
27 of 54 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
✓ Safe hands — 59 catches in 84 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 37 run outs.
✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.52 for the level played (State competition 7 · Rep Div 1 43 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 41 catches + 37 run outs (5 direct, 32 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.93 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 72 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 5 wickets from 24.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
