Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.46 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 — 6 hundred(s), best of 148.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 105 catches in 229 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 60 × 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
×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 81 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 229 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
5,410 runs in 236 innings, adjusted average 25.3, strike rate 67.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 20.5 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 229 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
