Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 39.5 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 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 52 · 2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 6). 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: 23 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.00 per match at 28.5, economy 4.02, strike rate 42.6.
