Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

25 of 49 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 80 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 43 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 22 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
1,039 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 19.2, strike rate 61.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
26 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 0.60 per match at 17.6, economy 3.47, strike rate 30.5.
