Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.9 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 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 142.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 76 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 (Rep Div 2 1 · Club 17). 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: 33 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 101 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 2,099 runs in 90 innings, adjusted average 27.0, strike rate 58.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 128 wickets in 96 matches bowled in (of 101 played) — 1.33 per match at 23.0, economy 3.51, strike rate 39.3.
