Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.7 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 11% 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 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 91 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 91). 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: 41 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.53 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 91 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
52 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 1.27 per match at 15.4, economy 3.40, strike rate 27.1.
