Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 45.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.21 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 128.
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 33 matches (1.21 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 34 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 16 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.64 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 613 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 20.0, strike rate 45.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 7.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
