Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

22 of 41 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 30%. 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 19 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
878 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 17.6, strike rate 57.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
80 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 1.13 per match at 15.3, economy 3.12, strike rate 29.3.
