Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 91 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 85 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 116 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 1.61 per match at 15.3, economy 4.21, strike rate 21.8.
