Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.4 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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
- ×0.22 for the level played (Club 2 · 5th grade and below 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 677 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 17.7, strike rate 50.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 40 wickets from 181.2 overs across 30 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
