Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 40.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.64 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 28 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 9 · Rep Div 1 3 · Club 16). 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
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.61 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 16.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
