Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.82 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

33 of 46 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

0.46 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 — 1 hundred(s), best of 147.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 90 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 40 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
1,108 runs in 60 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 80.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
81 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.12 per match at 21.5, economy 6.82, strike rate 18.9.
