Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 53.8 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 30%. 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
665 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 53.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
63 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 2.10 per match at 13.3, economy 3.23, strike rate 24.7.
