Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 19.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.89 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 41 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 33 · Club 8). 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
- Keeping: 9 catches + 4 stumpings + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.44 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 22.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.27 per match at 19.9, economy 2.89, strike rate 41.4.
