Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 69 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 18 · 4th grade 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 0.70 per match at 36.6, economy 4.92, strike rate 44.7.
