Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.0 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
0.81 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 147.
- ✓ Safe hands — 87 catches in 107 matches (0.81 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 21 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 87 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 73 catches + 21 stumpings + 16 run outs (4 direct, 12 assisted) in 107 matches — 1.03 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,081 runs in 96 innings, adjusted average 26.6, strike rate 55.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 16.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 107 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
