Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.56 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 43.2.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 30 hundred(s), best of 188.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 217 catches in 385 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 33 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting 92 × 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
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 34 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 179 catches + 33 run outs (32 direct, 1 assisted) in 385 matches — 0.55 per match.
Batting
14,176 runs in 390 innings, adjusted average 43.3, strike rate 63.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 59 wickets from 332.0 overs across 93 matches bowled in (of 385 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
