Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.0 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 39 catches + 11 run outs (9 direct, 2 assisted) in 144 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 123 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 163 wickets in 127 matches bowled in (of 144 played) — 1.28 per match at 25.1, economy 3.46, strike rate 43.6.
