Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 112 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 20 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 54 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 39 catches + 9 run outs (6 direct, 3 assisted) in 112 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 106 innings at 20.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 112 played) — 0.92 per match at 19.5, economy 4.40, strike rate 26.6.
