Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.5 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
- ✓ Safe hands — 66 catches in 145 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 143). 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: 64 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 145 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 112 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 287 wickets in 131 matches bowled in (of 145 played) — 2.19 per match at 17.0, economy 3.36, strike rate 30.3.
