Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 28.6 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

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 — 7 catches in 12 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 3 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 11 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
