Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 43.0 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 120.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 63 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 123 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 2,100 runs in 105 innings, adjusted average 24.4, strike rate 43.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 64.0 overs across 23 matches bowled in (of 123 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
