Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 168 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 34.3, strike rate 62.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
