Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.1 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 (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.98 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 159 catches in 162 matches (0.98 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 36 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 80 × 40% · Batting 46 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 15 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 140 catches + 36 stumpings + 9 run outs (4 direct, 5 assisted) in 162 matches — 1.14 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,496 runs in 137 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 52.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 15.8 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 162 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
