Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.7 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 119 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 116.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 (3rd grade 1 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- 1,636 runs in 110 innings, adjusted average 19.7, strike rate 61.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 146 wickets in 110 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 1.33 per match at 23.0, economy 3.58, strike rate 38.5.
