Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 35.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 77 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (2nd grade 25 · 3rd grade 22 · Club 7 · 4th grade 23). 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: 30 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 79 innings at 21.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.84 per match at 32.4, economy 4.44, strike rate 43.8.
