Critical recommendations

high Batting
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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% 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 (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 74 catches in 79 matches (0.94 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting 78 × 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
×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 5 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 47 catches + 9 stumpings + 12 run outs (3 direct, 9 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.86 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,660 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 25.5, strike rate 55.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 5 wickets from 14.7 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
