Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.8 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 (8 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 11 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 1,101 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 29.8, strike rate 58.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 71.0 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
