Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 18 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 2). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.22 per match at 30.6, economy 3.60, strike rate 51.0.
