Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.6 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
160 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 52.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
15 wickets in 6 matches — 2.50 per match at 17.1, economy 3.65, strike rate 28.1.
