Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.8 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.15 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

Strengths

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 17 run outs.
  • ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 17 run outs (5 direct, 12 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
979 runs in 56 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 16 wickets from 80.7 overs across 38 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.42 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
