Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.10 catches per match over 110 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 12 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 92 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 0.29 per match at 39.2, economy 4.70, strike rate 50.0.
