Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.8 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 14% 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 56 catches in 96 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 61 × 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
×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 11 · 4th grade 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 47 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.52 per match.
Batting
1,806 runs in 93 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 58.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 7 wickets from 48.2 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
