Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.8 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 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.27 for the level played (Club 12 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 55.3 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.47 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
