Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.7 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 12.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 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
×0.60 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 40 · Club 26 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 69 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 46 catches + 12 run outs (6 direct, 6 assisted) in 207 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 147 innings at 20.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
228 wickets in 192 matches bowled in (of 207 played) — 1.19 per match at 12.9, economy 3.38, strike rate 22.9.
