Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 84 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 2,285 runs in 85 innings, adjusted average 31.6, strike rate 46.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 57 wickets from 248.8 overs across 39 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 1.46 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
