Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.8 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.19 per match at 21.5, economy 3.64, strike rate 35.4.
