Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.8 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 13% 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 77 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
1,233 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 52.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
