Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 17 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 100 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · 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
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 41). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 95 catches + 17 stumpings + 12 run outs (0 direct, 12 assisted) in 67 matches — 1.85 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,375 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 63.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
