Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 41.7 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 62 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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 (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 7 · 4th grade 15 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 33 catches + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.63 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 60 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
48 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.04 per match at 26.8, economy 4.76, strike rate 33.8.
