Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.7 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
0.64 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 66 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 27 catches + 7 stumpings + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.61 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 1.39 per match at 17.4, economy 4.30, strike rate 24.3.
