Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 292 catches in 285 matches (1.02 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 22 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 49 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
×0.43 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 3rd grade 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 224 catches + 49 stumpings + 22 run outs (9 direct, 13 assisted) in 285 matches — 1.04 dismissals per match.
Batting
3,793 runs in 273 innings, adjusted average 16.3, strike rate 56.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 7 wickets from 60.0 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 285 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
