Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.52 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.52.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 69 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (1st grade 22 · Club 47). 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: 24 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 62 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 81 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.33 per match at 19.9, economy 2.52, strike rate 47.5.
