Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 74 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 90 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.12 per match at 19.2, economy 3.96, strike rate 29.0.
