Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.5 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.49 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 — 46 catches in 94 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. 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 (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 91). 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
Outfield: 45 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
1,766 runs in 88 innings, adjusted average 23.7, strike rate 60.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
47 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 1.02 per match at 23.7, economy 4.46, strike rate 31.9.
