Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 32.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 33 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (Rep Div 1 25 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 7). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 21.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.39 per match at 15.5, economy 3.17, strike rate 29.4.
