Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

44 of 62 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

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

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 39.2.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 144.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 93 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 16 · 5th grade and below 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 35 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 37 catches + 12 run outs (4 direct, 8 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.53 per match.
Batting
2,571 runs in 81 innings, adjusted average 39.2, strike rate 60.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
55 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 0.83 per match at 22.2, economy 3.99, strike rate 33.4.
