Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.9 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (2nd grade 13 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.39 per match at 21.3, economy 3.23, strike rate 39.4.
