Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 43.3 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 (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 90 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 30%. 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 1,335 runs in 80 innings, adjusted average 18.8, strike rate 43.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 132 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.76 per match at 12.2, economy 3.09, strike rate 23.8.
