Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 31.0 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.94.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 32 · Rep Div 2 13 · Club 103 · 5th grade and below 10). 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: 24 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 112 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
80 wickets in 93 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 0.86 per match at 17.6, economy 2.94, strike rate 35.8.
