Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 37.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 30 matches (0.80 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 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
×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 17 · Club 8 · 4th grade 4). 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
Keeping: 22 catches + 10 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 1.07 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 29 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
