Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.4 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 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 2.52 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.52.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 2). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 9 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
21 wickets in 12 matches — 1.75 per match at 18.0, economy 2.52, strike rate 42.8.
