Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.5 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.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 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 15.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 58 catches in 131 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 127). 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: 58 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 131 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 116 innings at 22.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 195 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 131 played) — 1.84 per match at 15.6, economy 3.85, strike rate 24.3.
