Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
57 of 76 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
0.69 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 33.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 149.
- ✓ Safe hands — 62 catches in 90 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 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 90). 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: 46 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 2,581 runs in 83 innings, adjusted average 33.7, strike rate 63.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.00 per match at 25.1, economy 4.66, strike rate 32.3.
