Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.5 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 89 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 26 · Club 63). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 52.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
