Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 54.4 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 13% 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 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.57 for the level played (State competition 8 · Rep Div 1 24 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 60 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 26 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 86 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 75 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
27 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 86 played) — 0.31 per match at 13.8, economy 3.84, strike rate 21.6.
