Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.1 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
0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 134.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 79 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 74 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 39 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 2,374 runs in 84 innings, adjusted average 32.3, strike rate 60.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 41 wickets from 208.3 overs across 37 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 1.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
