Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.0 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.78 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.78.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 41 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 41). 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: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 34 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
16 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.73 per match at 28.9, economy 3.78, strike rate 45.9.
