Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.2 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.78.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.25 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.32 per match at 15.6, economy 2.78, strike rate 33.6.
