Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 44 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 44.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
