Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

info Fielding

0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.5.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 107.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 68 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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
×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 21 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 35 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.53 per match.
Batting
1,881 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 30.5, strike rate 46.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
