Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.6 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.17 dismissals per match across 127 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 98 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 203 wickets in 122 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 1.66 per match at 15.0, economy 3.28, strike rate 27.4.
