Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.84 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.69 for the level played (1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 10 · 2nd grade 11 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.32 per match at 28.1, economy 3.84, strike rate 44.0.
