Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.4 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
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 121.
- ✓ Safe hands — 49 catches in 97 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 44 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 1,865 runs in 90 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 51.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 13.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
