Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.0 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.81 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 31.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 65 catches in 80 matches (0.81 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 14 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting 60 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 11 · Club 6 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 56 catches + 14 stumpings + 12 run outs (2 direct, 10 assisted) in 80 matches — 1.02 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,692 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 31.1, strike rate 56.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.3 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
