Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.0 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 64 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 1 2 · Club 62). 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: 27 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 109 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.91 per match at 12.2, economy 3.22, strike rate 22.8.
