Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
12 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 39 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 15 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.89 per match at 23.2, economy 4.27, strike rate 32.6.
