Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.5 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 10% 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 9.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.71.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 48 catches in 129 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 124). 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: 42 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 129 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 1,540 runs in 96 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 52.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 92 matches bowled in (of 129 played) — 0.79 per match at 9.2, economy 2.71, strike rate 20.4.
