Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
13 of 22 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.77 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 48 matches (0.77 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 18 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 95 × 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
- ×0.29 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · Club 18 · 4th grade 16 · 5th grade and below 11). 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: 28 catches + 18 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.96 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 18 wickets from 112.0 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
