Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 48.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 7 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

1.00 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 15 matches (1.00 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 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 15). 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: 15 catches + 4 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 1.27 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 5.2 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
