Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.2 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 52 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 1 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 29 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
- 764 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 48.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 96.0 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.37 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
