Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.8 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 19 · 4th grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 9 run outs (8 direct, 1 assisted) in 137 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 122 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 96.8 overs across 42 matches bowled in (of 137 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
