Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 25.9 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
0.89 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 72 catches in 81 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 72 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 61 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.77 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 50.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
