Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.4 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
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 71 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 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
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 39 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 7 · 4th grade 1). 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
- Outfield: 23 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 23.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 19.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
