Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 204.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 63 · 2nd grade 34 · 3rd grade 17 · Club 4 · 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: 35 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 3,466 runs in 129 innings, adjusted average 29.4, strike rate 48.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 52.2 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
