Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 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 30.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 44 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 20 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 19 · 4th grade 2). 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: 19 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 1,049 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 61.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.77 per match at 20.0, economy 3.46, strike rate 34.7.
