Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.7 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 15% 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 3.66.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 11 · 4th grade 16 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 20.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.21 per match at 22.2, economy 3.66, strike rate 36.4.
