Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.2 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.1.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 12 hundred(s), best of 147.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 140 catches in 345 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 137 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 345 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
10,591 runs in 363 innings, adjusted average 32.1, strike rate 64.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 50 wickets from 315.8 overs across 70 matches bowled in (of 345 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
