Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 36.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 63 catches in 171 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 21 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 63 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 171 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 122 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
253 wickets in 153 matches bowled in (of 171 played) — 1.65 per match at 17.9, economy 3.14, strike rate 34.2.
