Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.6 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 48 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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
- ×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 24.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
