Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.55 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
415 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 63.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 20.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.27 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
