Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 41.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

37 of 69 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 99 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 27 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 99 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 89 innings at 20.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 99 played) — 0.14 per match at 31.4, economy 4.70, strike rate 40.1.
