Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · Club 13 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 40.8 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.73 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
