Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 3 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 31 runs in 2 innings, adjusted average 23.3, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 3 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
