Critical recommendations

Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.69 for the level played (1st grade 29 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 52 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 101 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.26 per match at 27.1, economy 4.42, strike rate 36.7.
