Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.8 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.73 for the level played (Rep Div 1 41 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 8 run outs (7 direct, 1 assisted) in 95 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 1,388 runs in 82 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 62.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 0.94 per match at 14.4, economy 3.17, strike rate 27.2.
