Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.3 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
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 27 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.63 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 56.0 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.42 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
