Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 34.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
73 of 95 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 65 catches in 115 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 39 catches + 7 stumpings + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.44 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 105 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 62 wickets from 327.5 overs across 41 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 0.54 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
