Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 4 · 5th grade and below 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 74.8 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 0.41 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
