Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.28 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 138.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.28.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 45 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 1,267 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 32.3, strike rate 58.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.79 per match at 16.2, economy 2.28, strike rate 42.6.
