Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 53.7 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 11% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 64 catches in 72 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 17 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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
×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 36 · 3rd grade 19 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 4). 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
Keeping: 54 catches + 17 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.99 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,381 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 21.6, strike rate 53.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
