Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.5 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

10 of 17 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 27 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 36 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 4 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
280 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 15.9, strike rate 57.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
