Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.66 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 16). 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
- Keeping: 7 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.43 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 32.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
