Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.3 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 (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.42 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 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 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 55 catches in 116 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 19 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 38 catches + 11 stumpings + 9 run outs (7 direct, 2 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,337 runs in 106 innings, adjusted average 28.5, strike rate 58.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 92.8 overs across 28 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
