Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.2 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 (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.35 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 60 catches in 105 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 18 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 35 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 41 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.43 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 93 innings at 17.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 5 wickets from 28.8 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
