Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.4 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 113.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 1,556 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 30.5, strike rate 62.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.00 per match at 20.3, economy 3.73, strike rate 32.7.
