Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.7 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 16% 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 (16 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 222 catches in 193 matches (1.15 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 38 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 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
×0.73 for the level played (1st grade 15 · 2nd grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 205 catches + 38 stumpings + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 193 matches — 1.29 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 179 innings at 20.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 193 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
