Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.54 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 113.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 34 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 41 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 4 · 4th grade 1). 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: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 1,621 runs in 79 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 42.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.78 per match at 29.3, economy 3.54, strike rate 49.6.
