Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 64 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 19 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 28). 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: 11 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 958 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 19.3, strike rate 44.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.91 per match at 15.7, economy 3.31, strike rate 28.5.
