Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 41 × 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 9). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 143 runs in 6 innings, adjusted average 27.8, strike rate 53.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
