Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 1.90 is excellent but a wicket every 60 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info General
Small sample size

Only 1 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

Strengths

  • ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 64.0 (frequently not out).
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.90.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 3 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 3 matches — 0.00 per match.
Batting
64 runs in 1 innings, adjusted average 64.0, strike rate 59.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
4 wickets in 3 matches — 1.33 per match at 19.0, economy 1.90, strike rate 60.0.
