Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 35.8 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 (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.79.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 77 innings at 20.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 112 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 1.51 per match at 17.5, economy 2.79, strike rate 37.7.
