Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.8 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 16% 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
1.37 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 93 catches in 68 matches (1.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 82 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 76 catches + 12 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 68 matches — 1.32 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
