Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.4 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 60 matches (0.88 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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
×0.37 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 13 · 4th grade 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 37 catches + 7 stumpings + 12 run outs (2 direct, 10 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.93 dismissals per match.
Batting
901 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 21.0, strike rate 50.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
