Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 45.1 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 (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 6 · Club 27 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 40 catches + 6 run outs (0 direct, 6 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 1,963 runs in 112 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 45.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 0.28 per match at 17.1, economy 4.60, strike rate 22.3.
