Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.3 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (National competition 4 · 1st grade 11 · Rep Div 1 11 · 2nd grade 16 · Club 47). 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: 21 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 81 innings at 23.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.37 per match at 18.0, economy 2.92, strike rate 36.9.
