Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.5 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 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.9.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 203.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 83 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 39 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
2,322 runs in 81 innings, adjusted average 32.9, strike rate 60.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
58 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 1.14 per match at 18.8, economy 4.54, strike rate 24.9.
