Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 46 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 44 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 5 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
815 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 59.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 16 wickets from 82.7 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.84 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
