Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 8 run outs (5 direct, 3 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 83 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 90 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 0.81 per match at 15.1, economy 3.96, strike rate 22.9.
