Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.60 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.0.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 185.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 114 catches in 190 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 61 × 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
×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 91 · 2nd grade 89 · 3rd grade 9 · 4th grade 1). 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: 112 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 190 matches — 0.61 per match.
Batting
5,110 runs in 189 innings, adjusted average 31.0, strike rate 49.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 37 wickets from 203.8 overs across 42 matches bowled in (of 190 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
