Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.8 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 183.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
929 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 52.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
