Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 45.6 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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 676 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 45.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.98 per match at 23.4, economy 4.18, strike rate 33.5.
