Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.7 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 47). 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: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 853 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 28.1, strike rate 52.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.91 per match at 14.2, economy 3.19, strike rate 26.8.
