Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 14 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 17 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
1,266 runs in 65 innings, adjusted average 22.2, strike rate 62.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
99 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.62 per match at 18.0, economy 3.82, strike rate 28.2.
