Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.8 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 4% of 50+ scores become hundreds (25 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.42 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 102.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 89 catches in 213 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 41 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 81 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 213 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
4,591 runs in 198 innings, adjusted average 27.2, strike rate 46.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 128 wickets from 688.8 overs across 150 matches bowled in (of 213 played) — 0.85 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
