Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.4 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 92 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 21 · Club 15 · 4th grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 13 run outs (5 direct, 8 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 65 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 78 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 0.85 per match at 26.0, economy 4.34, strike rate 35.9.
