Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 109.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 75 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 1,449 runs in 77 innings, adjusted average 21.0, strike rate 56.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 32.5 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
