Batting Working on Basics

Not enough data

Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 94 imported matches (+1.9)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.8 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 94 matches (0.43 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 40 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 107 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 15 wickets from 101.8 overs across 23 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
