Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

42 of 56 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 102.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 24 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
1,528 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 26.4, strike rate 51.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 62 wickets from 346.8 overs across 50 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.24 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
