Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.5 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 (25 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 91 catches in 250 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 91 catches + 15 run outs (12 direct, 3 assisted) in 250 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 4,345 runs in 238 innings, adjusted average 23.6, strike rate 56.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 182 wickets in 195 matches bowled in (of 250 played) — 0.93 per match at 25.1, economy 4.29, strike rate 35.1.
