Critical recommendations

Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 28 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 19 · Club 69 · 4th grade 12 · 5th grade and below 8). 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: 52 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 154 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 138 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 154 played) — 0.34 per match at 17.4, economy 3.17, strike rate 32.8.
