Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 10 hundred(s), best of 236.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 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
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 3,798 runs in 94 innings, adjusted average 43.4, strike rate 51.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 59.7 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
