Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 72 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 31 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 43 catches + 31 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 1.08 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
