Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.3 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.27 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.18 dismissals per match across 98 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 6 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 108 wickets in 86 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.26 per match at 22.6, economy 3.27, strike rate 41.6.
