Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.1 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.69 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 88 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 27 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 23 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 19 · 5th grade and below 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 48 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 53 catches + 27 stumpings + 15 run outs (0 direct, 15 assisted) in 88 matches — 1.08 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 77 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 9.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
