Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
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
- ×0.68 for the level played (1st grade 12 · 2nd grade 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 9 run outs (4 direct, 5 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 87 innings at 25.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.5 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
