Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.5 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.50.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 106 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.63 for the level played (Rep Div 1 35 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 59 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 44 catches + 13 run outs (7 direct, 6 assisted) in 106 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
1,336 runs in 80 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 57.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
76 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 106 played) — 1.23 per match at 17.0, economy 3.50, strike rate 29.2.
