Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.9 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 81 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (Rep Div 1 38 · Club 4 · 4th grade 13 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 56 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 78 innings at 20.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.25 per match at 17.6, economy 3.83, strike rate 27.7.
