Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.7 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 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 52 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 30%. 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 52). 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: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 50 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
26 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.18 per match at 24.0, economy 4.18, strike rate 34.4.
