Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.4 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 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 17 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 2 7 · Club 33). 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: 27 catches + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 109 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 93 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 103 matches bowled in (of 109 played) — 0.75 per match at 16.5, economy 4.13, strike rate 23.9.
