Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.8 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 28 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 60). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 873 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 19.1, strike rate 46.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.35 per match at 16.5, economy 3.58, strike rate 27.7.
