Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.0 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.65.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 17 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 17). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 15 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
12 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.20 per match at 12.5, economy 2.65, strike rate 28.3.
