Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 157.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.02.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · Club 13 · 4th grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.43 per match.
Batting
1,126 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 50.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
56 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.24 per match at 18.5, economy 3.02, strike rate 36.7.
