Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.2 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 15% 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 2.88 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 172.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.88.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 66). 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: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
1,865 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 50.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
28 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.97 per match at 25.0, economy 2.88, strike rate 52.2.
