Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 24.5 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.83 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 65 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 71 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 54 wickets from 370.0 overs across 45 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
