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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.79 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 31.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 43 matches (0.79 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 95 × 40% · Batting 65 × 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 26 catches + 6 stumpings + 8 run outs (1 direct, 7 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.93 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 940 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 31.7, strike rate 63.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 14.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
