high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.18 dismissals per match across 22 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 570 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 29.4, strike rate 52.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
