Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.9 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 6 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 9 run outs (7 direct, 2 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.38 per match at 33.0, economy 4.67, strike rate 42.4.
