Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.0 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 11% 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 12.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
599 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 46.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
42 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.56 per match at 12.9, economy 3.31, strike rate 23.3.
