Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 119.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 87 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 12 · 4th grade 9 · 5th grade and below 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 39 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 47 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.62 per match.
Batting
1,645 runs in 79 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 64.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
86 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.04 per match at 20.1, economy 3.48, strike rate 34.6.
