Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

42 of 55 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 97.7) without sacrificing consistency.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 132.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 82 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 40 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
1,470 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 25.5, strike rate 97.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
126 wickets in 78 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 1.62 per match at 18.9, economy 3.47, strike rate 32.7.
