Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.9 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.10 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
- ✓ Safe hands — 52 catches in 116 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 97 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 52 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 90 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 143 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 1.35 per match at 20.9, economy 3.10, strike rate 40.4.
