Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.4 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.59 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 17 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 62 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 29 wickets from 199.5 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 0.88 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
