Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.7 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.
info
Fielding

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 75 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 20.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 127 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.76 per match at 13.2, economy 3.58, strike rate 22.0.
