Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.6 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 (15 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 41 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 103 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 2,562 runs in 99 innings, adjusted average 30.1, strike rate 56.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 158 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 1.66 per match at 19.2, economy 3.61, strike rate 31.9.
