Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.1 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 111.
- ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 117 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 63 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (Rep Div 1 33 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 10 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 53 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 53 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- 2,686 runs in 119 innings, adjusted average 25.8, strike rate 57.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 134.7 overs across 35 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
