Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 29 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 29). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 23.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
