Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 43.4 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
1.32 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 28 matches (1.32 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 99 × 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
- ×0.49 for the level played (2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 14 · 4th grade 4). 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: 32 catches + 10 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 1.54 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 22.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
