Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
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.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
✓ Safe hands — 96 catches in 187 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 21 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.26 for the level played (Club 25 · 5th grade and below 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 96 catches + 21 run outs (10 direct, 11 assisted) in 187 matches — 0.63 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 138 innings at 19.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
128 wickets in 141 matches bowled in (of 187 played) — 0.91 per match at 23.6, economy 3.74, strike rate 37.8.
