Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.2 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 22 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 107 innings at 19.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 1.26 per match at 14.9, economy 3.47, strike rate 25.8.
