Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.2 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 (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 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 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- ✓ Safe hands — 54 catches in 131 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 54 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 131 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 2,478 runs in 130 innings, adjusted average 22.7, strike rate 56.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 146 wickets in 94 matches bowled in (of 131 played) — 1.55 per match at 16.3, economy 3.13, strike rate 31.2.
