Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (30 fifties, 5 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.95 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 150.
- ✓ Safe hands — 207 catches in 218 matches (0.95 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 32 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 76 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · 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
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 19 · Rep Div 1 47 · 2nd grade 81 · 3rd grade 14 · Rep Div 2 8 · Club 33 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 10). 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
- Keeping: 183 catches + 32 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 218 matches — 1.00 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 4,971 runs in 206 innings, adjusted average 29.8, strike rate 58.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 20 wickets from 100.5 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 218 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
