Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.8 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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 97). 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: 18 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 84 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 89 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 0.66 per match at 14.3, economy 3.17, strike rate 27.2.
