Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.7 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 79 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 0.83 per match at 20.4, economy 3.27, strike rate 37.3.
