Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.0 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 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 137.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 77 catches in 212 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 76 catches + 9 run outs (8 direct, 1 assisted) in 212 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
3,322 runs in 175 innings, adjusted average 23.5, strike rate 51.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
241 wickets in 183 matches bowled in (of 212 played) — 1.32 per match at 21.2, economy 3.25, strike rate 39.2.
