Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.4 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 112 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 1.38 per match at 20.8, economy 4.61, strike rate 27.1.
