Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 53.8 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 70 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 52 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 35 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
1,175 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 19.6, strike rate 53.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
22 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 0.31 per match at 18.8, economy 3.87, strike rate 29.2.
