Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 48.5 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.8.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
902 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 32.8, strike rate 48.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
13 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.93 per match at 23.5, economy 4.35, strike rate 32.5.
