Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
60 of 84 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 (7 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 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · 2nd grade 12 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 50 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 36 catches + 8 run outs (5 direct, 3 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 103 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 110 wickets in 93 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 1.18 per match at 22.0, economy 4.42, strike rate 29.9.
