Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 30.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Rep Div 2 10 · Club 83). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 28.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 0.69 per match at 11.8, economy 2.54, strike rate 27.8.
