Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.82 is excellent but a wicket every 49 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 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 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 15). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.08 per match at 23.2, economy 2.82, strike rate 49.4.
