Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 45.7 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 135.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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
×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 37 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 23 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
1,384 runs in 80 innings, adjusted average 21.2, strike rate 45.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
