Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.66 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 128.
- ✓ Safe hands — 59 catches in 90 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 41 catches + 7 stumpings + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.57 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,315 runs in 84 innings, adjusted average 31.8, strike rate 64.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 35.7 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
