Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.1 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.80.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 73 catches in 199 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 33 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 89 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 32). 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: 58 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 199 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 165 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
165 wickets in 164 matches bowled in (of 199 played) — 1.01 per match at 18.6, economy 2.80, strike rate 39.8.
