Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.7 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 108.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.54.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 96 catches in 227 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 18 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 94 catches + 18 run outs (17 direct, 1 assisted) in 227 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
2,986 runs in 189 innings, adjusted average 18.0, strike rate 64.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
150 wickets in 170 matches bowled in (of 227 played) — 0.88 per match at 21.8, economy 3.54, strike rate 36.8.
