Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.88 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.35 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 23 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 37 × 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 (Club 23). 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: 8 catches + 0 stumpings + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.43 dismissals per match.
