Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.2 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 (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
- ×0.27 for the level played (Club 14 · 5th grade and below 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 735 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 58.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 66.7 overs across 23 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.65 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
