Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.9 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 74 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 114). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 37 catches + 9 run outs (8 direct, 1 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 1,931 runs in 107 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 62.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 0.87 per match at 9.6, economy 3.26, strike rate 17.7.
