Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.5 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.30 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 67 catches in 180 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.48 for the level played (1st grade 49 · 2nd grade 47 · 3rd grade 58 · 4th grade 26). 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: 67 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 180 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 196 innings at 19.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
134 wickets in 120 matches bowled in (of 180 played) — 1.12 per match at 27.2, economy 3.30, strike rate 49.4.
