Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.4 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

0.45 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 16.8.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.86.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 11 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.73 for the level played (State competition 3 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.64 per match.
Batting
257 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 57.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
6 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.00 per match at 16.8, economy 2.86, strike rate 35.3.
