Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.5 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 14% 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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
- ×0.29 for the level played (Club 4 · 4th grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 90 innings at 21.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 53.7 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
