Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
105 of 137 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (16 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
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
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 106.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 132.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- ✓ Safe hands — 76 catches in 157 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 71 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 157 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 2,932 runs in 148 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 106.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 158 wickets in 109 matches bowled in (of 157 played) — 1.45 per match at 17.9, economy 3.59, strike rate 30.0.
