medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
26 of 35 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 32.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 150.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 44 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 32 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 8 run outs (2 direct, 6 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- 1,175 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 32.2, strike rate 73.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.15 per match at 17.4, economy 3.76, strike rate 27.8.
