Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 43 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 38 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
2,773 runs in 171 innings, adjusted average 18.0, strike rate 50.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 44 wickets from 236.5 overs across 58 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 0.28 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
