Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 24 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 24). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 21.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 40.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
