Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

42 of 59 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 67 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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
×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 27 · 2nd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 27 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
1,329 runs in 64 innings, adjusted average 22.4, strike rate 47.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 20.2 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
