Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 46 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.02 per match at 21.1, economy 3.38, strike rate 37.4.
