Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 43.7 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 22 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 7). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 795 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 43.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.45 per match at 16.3, economy 3.03, strike rate 32.4.
