Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 20.5 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 31 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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 31). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 32 innings at 32.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 9.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
