Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
16 of 26 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.53.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.16 per match at 12.1, economy 2.53, strike rate 28.7.
