Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.63 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.22 per match at 27.2, economy 5.63, strike rate 28.9.
