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.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 45 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 30). 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: 10 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 568 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 20.3, strike rate 60.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.45 per match at 18.5, economy 3.28, strike rate 33.8.
