Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

7 of 9 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.9.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 12 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 7 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.75 per match.
Batting
317 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 34.9, strike rate 55.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 7 wickets from 38.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.58 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
