Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 35.3 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 (4 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 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 11 · Club 3 · 4th grade 4). 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 21.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.12 per match at 27.5, economy 4.05, strike rate 40.7.
