Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

76 of 102 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 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 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 33 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 109 innings at 22.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 34.8 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
