Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.4 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 (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 83 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 27 · 4th grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 21 catches + 10 stumpings + 10 run outs (2 direct, 8 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.49 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 77 innings at 24.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 25.7 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
