Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 8.3 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 15% 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
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 62 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 36 wickets from 176.8 overs across 32 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
