Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
27 of 35 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.53 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 39.5.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 94.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 158.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 45 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,433 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 39.5, strike rate 94.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.47 per match at 16.8, economy 3.32, strike rate 30.3.
