Critical recommendations

Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 36.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 83). 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: 14 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 76 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 0.75 per match at 16.4, economy 2.89, strike rate 33.9.
