Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 45 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 2 5 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 935 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 53.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 31.2 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
