Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.51.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.41 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 45 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 12 · Rep Div 2 6 · Club 120 · 4th grade 12 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 39 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 205 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 188 innings at 18.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
85 wickets in 97 matches bowled in (of 205 played) — 0.88 per match at 15.5, economy 2.51, strike rate 37.1.
