Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

15 of 28 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 30 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 14 catches + 7 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.70 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 31 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
