Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.1 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 15% 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 0 × 40% · Batting 44 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 361 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 15.4, strike rate 50.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 27.3 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
