Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.7 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.52 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 30.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Safe hands — 54 catches in 104 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 46 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 104 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 2,680 runs in 98 innings, adjusted average 30.1, strike rate 58.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 32 wickets from 170.0 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 104 played) — 0.31 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
