Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.4 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 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 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.58 for the level played (2nd grade 29 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 61 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
81 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.31 per match at 26.1, economy 4.08, strike rate 38.4.
