Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.5 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 58 catches in 82 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 41 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 47 catches + 6 stumpings + 11 run outs (2 direct, 9 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.78 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,085 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 18.3, strike rate 50.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 93.0 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
