Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.6 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 12% 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 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 16.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.07.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 52 catches in 130 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 19 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 43 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 52 catches + 10 run outs (5 direct, 5 assisted) in 130 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
1,401 runs in 97 innings, adjusted average 18.0, strike rate 63.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
89 wickets in 110 matches bowled in (of 130 played) — 0.81 per match at 16.4, economy 3.07, strike rate 32.1.
