Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.2 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 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 19 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 87 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 0.85 per match at 24.0, economy 4.03, strike rate 35.8.
