Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 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: 22 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 90 innings at 27.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 19 wickets from 118.0 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
