Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 41.4 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 13% 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 15.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.54.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 26). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 23 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
44 wickets in 26 matches — 1.69 per match at 15.6, economy 2.54, strike rate 36.8.
