Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
highBatting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
28 of 49 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.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 73 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 41 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.67 per match.
Batting
1,661 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 32.4, strike rate 46.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
116 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.73 per match at 12.4, economy 2.15, strike rate 34.7.
