Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumFielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 63 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 23 × 40% · Batting 41 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
903 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 16.9, strike rate 53.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 5.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
