Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
72 of 97 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 109 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 109 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 106 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 21 wickets from 135.3 overs across 32 matches bowled in (of 109 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
