Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 29.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 68.7 overs across 27 matches — 0.63 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
