Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.7 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 (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.51 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 14.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.68.
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 80 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 30%. 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 40 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- 1,837 runs in 78 innings, adjusted average 26.3, strike rate 57.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 197 wickets in 77 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 2.56 per match at 14.1, economy 2.68, strike rate 31.5.
