Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.9 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 65 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 16 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 37 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.65 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 72.0 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
