Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.4 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 30%. 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.86 per match.
Batting
596 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 58.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
31 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.48 per match at 14.1, economy 2.46, strike rate 34.4.
