Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.5 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
0.74 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 38 matches (0.74 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 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
- ×0.59 for the level played (Rep Div 1 20 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 8). 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: 28 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.84 per match.
- Batting
- 624 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 56.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 17.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
