Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.1 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.37.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 3 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 70 innings at 20.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 115 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.53 per match at 14.7, economy 3.37, strike rate 26.1.
