Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 41.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 117.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 1,552 runs in 58 innings, adjusted average 32.8, strike rate 41.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 11.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
