Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.1 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 122.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 1,256 runs in 65 innings, adjusted average 23.2, strike rate 59.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 38 wickets from 127.3 overs across 30 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.27 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
