Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 53.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

10 of 14 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 28 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.71 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
30 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.11 per match at 22.1, economy 4.89, strike rate 27.1.
