Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

26 of 35 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.47.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
784 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 22.3, strike rate 56.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
32 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.33 per match at 16.0, economy 2.47, strike rate 38.9.
