Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

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

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 45 catches + 10 run outs (8 direct, 2 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 123 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
143 wickets in 129 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 1.11 per match at 24.9, economy 4.15, strike rate 36.1.
