Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
mediumFielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 188 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.35 for the level played (State competition 6 · 1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 28 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 121 · 4th grade 24 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 38 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 188 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 159 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
180 wickets in 139 matches bowled in (of 188 played) — 1.29 per match at 20.2, economy 3.96, strike rate 30.6.
