Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.7 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 (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.49 for the level played (State competition 18 · Rep Div 1 30 · Rep Div 2 8 · Club 56 · 5th grade and below 9). 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 + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 121 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 111 innings at 21.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 29 wickets from 182.8 overs across 59 matches bowled in (of 121 played) — 0.49 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
