Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
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.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.34 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 9 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 43 catches + 13 run outs (9 direct, 4 assisted) in 171 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 2,383 runs in 160 innings, adjusted average 17.2, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 87 matches bowled in (of 171 played) — 0.62 per match at 25.8, economy 3.34, strike rate 46.3.
