Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 8 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.0.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 10 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
259 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 58.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 15.2 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
