Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 33.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.51 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 17.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 41 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 40 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
36 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.20 per match at 17.0, economy 2.89, strike rate 35.4.
