Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.49 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 6 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.04 per match at 29.5, economy 3.49, strike rate 50.7.
