Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (27 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 45.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 135.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 106 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 3,595 runs in 103 innings, adjusted average 45.1, strike rate 48.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 106 played) — 1.08 per match at 18.4, economy 3.19, strike rate 34.6.
