Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.14 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 56 · 3rd grade 76 · Club 3 · 4th grade 27 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 41 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 173 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 157 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
224 wickets in 149 matches bowled in (of 173 played) — 1.50 per match at 21.4, economy 3.14, strike rate 40.9.
