Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.7 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 104.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 57 matches (0.93 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 69 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
×0.54 for the level played (2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 16 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 44 catches + 6 stumpings + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.95 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,372 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 59.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 9.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
