Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 38 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 1,489 runs in 90 innings, adjusted average 17.8, strike rate 59.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 18 wickets from 83.7 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
