Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.79 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.56 for the level played (National competition 10 · 4th grade 12 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 52 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 210 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 208 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
93 wickets in 105 matches bowled in (of 210 played) — 0.89 per match at 29.0, economy 3.79, strike rate 45.9.
