Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 40.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.29 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 114.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 38 × 30% · 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
- ×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 45 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 3). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 1,602 runs in 81 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 40.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 114.7 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.26 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
