Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.4 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
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 44 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 40 × 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
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 5 stumpings + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.68 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 681 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 18.7, strike rate 44.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 8.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
