Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.0 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 (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.76 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 — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 106 catches in 140 matches (0.76 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 52 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 79 catches + 6 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 140 matches — 0.62 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,781 runs in 152 innings, adjusted average 19.5, strike rate 62.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 18.3 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 140 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
