Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.8 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 55 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 8 run outs (3 direct, 5 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 953 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 24.7, strike rate 63.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.51 per match at 24.7, economy 4.05, strike rate 36.7.
