Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.9 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 56 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 27 catches + 9 run outs (1 direct, 8 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.64 per match.
Batting
888 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 28.4, strike rate 56.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
22 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.52 per match at 22.4, economy 3.57, strike rate 37.6.
