Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
Too many aerial dismissals
54 of 75 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.99 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 177.
✓ Safe hands — 94 catches in 95 matches (0.99 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 24 run outs.
✓ Sharp glovework — 30 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 94 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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
×0.61 for the level played (National competition 6 · Rep Div 1 15 · 2nd grade 26 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 62 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 86 catches + 30 stumpings + 24 run outs (5 direct, 19 assisted) in 95 matches — 1.47 dismissals per match.
Batting
2,206 runs in 89 innings, adjusted average 28.7, strike rate 64.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 11.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
