Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
3 of 5 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.6.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 30%. 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 133 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 24.4, strike rate 58.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 8 matches — 1.12 per match at 15.6, economy 4.31, strike rate 21.7.
