Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.9 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (28 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.42 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 123.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 78 catches in 185 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.73 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 78 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 185 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
4,594 runs in 183 innings, adjusted average 28.4, strike rate 44.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
27 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 185 played) — 0.15 per match at 28.4, economy 3.94, strike rate 43.3.
