Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.6 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 101 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 101 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 106 innings at 19.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 30 wickets from 113.3 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 101 played) — 0.30 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
