Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.1 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 136 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 2,682 runs in 147 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 63.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 116.7 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 136 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
