Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

15 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 24 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 11 catches + 1 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.54 dismissals per match.
Batting
325 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 15.8, strike rate 49.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 9.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
