Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.3 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 40 · Rep Div 1 14 · 2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 25 · Club 23 · 4th grade 1). 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: 33 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 124 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 109 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 113 matches bowled in (of 124 played) — 0.81 per match at 27.8, economy 3.46, strike rate 48.3.
