Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.2 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 1,207 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 63.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.40 per match at 18.0, economy 4.23, strike rate 25.5.
