Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 41.4 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 38 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 130 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 115 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
146 wickets in 104 matches bowled in (of 130 played) — 1.40 per match at 22.9, economy 3.61, strike rate 38.1.
