Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.6 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

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

  • ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 33 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 29 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
528 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 15.2, strike rate 49.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
19 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.79 per match at 32.9, economy 4.48, strike rate 44.1.
