Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.8 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

1.03 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 33 matches (1.03 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 43 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 27 catches + 4 stumpings + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 33 matches — 1.09 dismissals per match.
Batting
621 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 24.4, strike rate 56.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
