Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 7.20 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 69 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 62 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
27 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 0.63 per match at 35.0, economy 7.20, strike rate 29.2.
