Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 36.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 39 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 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
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 35 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 26.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 15.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
