Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 134.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 632 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 62.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 25.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
