Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 25 · 2nd grade 8 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.88 per match at 32.4, economy 4.12, strike rate 47.2.
