Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.15 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.54 per match at 27.7, economy 3.15, strike rate 52.9.
