Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 142 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 20 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.64 for the level played (National competition 16 · State competition 2 · 1st grade 32 · Rep Div 1 14 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 76 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 53 catches + 20 run outs (7 direct, 13 assisted) in 142 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
2,364 runs in 111 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 57.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
106 wickets in 120 matches bowled in (of 142 played) — 0.88 per match at 24.3, economy 3.88, strike rate 37.6.
