Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.9 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
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 28 matches (0.43 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 18 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · 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
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 2 stumpings + 10 run outs (3 direct, 7 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.68 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 470 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 22.9, strike rate 54.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
