Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 45.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.23 dismissals per match across 35 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.7.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
965 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 30.7, strike rate 45.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
47 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.42 per match at 17.1, economy 3.44, strike rate 29.9.
