Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 106.0 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
