Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 38.2 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 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 91 innings at 28.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 141 wickets from 743.5 overs across 82 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.72 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
