Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.8 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 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 82 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 6.7 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
