Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
21 of 29 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 27.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
