Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.82 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 39 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 794 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 19.2, strike rate 55.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 72.5 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.67 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
