Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

62 of 84 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 5 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 37 catches + 10 run outs (10 direct, 0 assisted) in 189 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 128 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 251 wickets from 1487.5 overs across 178 matches bowled in (of 189 played) — 1.41 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
