Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
57 of 80 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 141.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 117.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 87 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 78 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 37 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 2,243 runs in 86 innings, adjusted average 27.9, strike rate 141.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 148 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.80 per match at 15.8, economy 4.48, strike rate 21.2.
