Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.3 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 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 156.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 30 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 28). 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: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.70 per match.
- Batting
- 939 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 40.1, strike rate 58.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 64.8 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
