Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.94 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 165 catches in 175 matches (0.94 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 45 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 153 catches + 45 stumpings + 10 run outs (4 direct, 6 assisted) in 175 matches — 1.19 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,565 runs in 147 innings, adjusted average 21.7, strike rate 49.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 175 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
