Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.8 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
12 of 17 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (2nd grade 22 · Club 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: 6 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.76 per match at 20.2, economy 3.68, strike rate 32.8.
