Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.1 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
0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 60 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 60). 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: 23 catches + 10 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.58 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 55.3 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
