Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.41 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 61 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 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
×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 15 catches + 10 stumpings + 14 run outs (3 direct, 11 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.64 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 58 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 14 wickets from 68.3 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.48 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
