Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.64 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 135.
- ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 73 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · 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
- ×0.30 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
- Keeping: 30 catches + 8 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.56 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,375 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 63.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
