Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.6 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 37 · Rep Div 2 10 · Club 81 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 39 catches + 10 run outs (10 direct, 0 assisted) in 136 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 114 innings at 17.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 87 wickets in 123 matches bowled in (of 136 played) — 0.71 per match at 20.1, economy 3.31, strike rate 36.5.
