Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.2 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (18 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.99 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 38.3.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 131.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 84 catches in 85 matches (0.99 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 86 × 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
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 40 catches + 7 run outs (0 direct, 7 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.55 per match.
Batting
2,668 runs in 83 innings, adjusted average 38.3, strike rate 62.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
