Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 36.0 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 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.46 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 59 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 59). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Keeping: 26 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.46 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 54 innings at 29.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 30.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
