Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.4 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 (Club 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 20.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.96 per match at 17.2, economy 3.81, strike rate 27.0.
