Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.4 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 70 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 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 70). 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
Outfield: 30 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
1,595 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 62.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
34 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.10 per match at 22.8, economy 4.48, strike rate 30.5.
