Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 6% of 50+ scores become hundreds (16 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 219 catches in 187 matches (1.17 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 28 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting 56 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 22 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 199 catches + 28 stumpings + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 187 matches — 1.26 dismissals per match.
Batting
3,518 runs in 187 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 61.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 14 wickets from 80.0 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 187 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
