Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.9 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 54 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 72 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 750 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 17.0, strike rate 49.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 36.2 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
