Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.3 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.54 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 51 catches in 94 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 41 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 91 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 1.20 per match at 17.9, economy 3.23, strike rate 33.3.
