Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

38 of 54 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 15% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 50 catches in 97 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 20 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 45 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 50 catches + 8 run outs (3 direct, 5 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.60 per match.
Batting
1,340 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 69.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
117 wickets in 86 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 1.36 per match at 14.4, economy 3.59, strike rate 24.1.
