Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.9 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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.35 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.24 dismissals per match across 74 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 113.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 10 · 2nd grade 40 · 3rd grade 17 · Club 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: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
1,700 runs in 79 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 58.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
62 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.24 per match at 27.8, economy 3.35, strike rate 49.9.
