Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.7 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 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 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 11.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 46 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 36). 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: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.79 per match at 11.0, economy 2.89, strike rate 22.8.
