Critical recommendations

high Batting
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.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (19 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 85 catches in 205 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 5 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 85 catches + 7 run outs (6 direct, 1 assisted) in 205 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
3,831 runs in 228 innings, adjusted average 18.1, strike rate 63.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
125 wickets in 130 matches bowled in (of 205 played) — 0.96 per match at 20.8, economy 3.62, strike rate 34.5.
