Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 26 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 75 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 14 catches + 11 stumpings + 13 run outs (0 direct, 13 assisted) in 26 matches — 1.46 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 11.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
