Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.84 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.84.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 43 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · Club 24). 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: 13 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 20.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.92 per match at 19.9, economy 2.84, strike rate 42.1.
