  • ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

16 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 45.4.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 109.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 29). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
934 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 45.4, strike rate 50.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 5.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
