Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.2 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 60 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 28 · Club 8 · 4th grade 5 · 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
- Outfield: 24 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.04 per match at 22.3, economy 3.89, strike rate 34.3.
