Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 112.
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 107 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 45 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 105). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 41 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 107 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 2,491 runs in 106 innings, adjusted average 25.5, strike rate 61.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 66.0 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 107 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
