Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
63 of 81 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 122.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 25 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 27 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 2,683 runs in 93 innings, adjusted average 32.6, strike rate 53.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 69.3 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
