Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.9 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 0.14 catches per match over 99 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 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 99 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 98 innings at 24.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 84 wickets in 86 matches bowled in (of 99 played) — 0.98 per match at 20.4, economy 3.57, strike rate 34.3.
