Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.0 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.34 per match at 18.4, economy 3.29, strike rate 33.6.
