Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 39.4 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 12% 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 3.12 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 86 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 28 wickets from 188.3 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 0.34 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
