Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

13 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 38 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
535 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 60.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
25 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.04 per match at 21.2, economy 3.62, strike rate 35.2.
