Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.7 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 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 16.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.97.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 24 · Club 67). 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: 27 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 85 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 157 wickets in 90 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 1.74 per match at 16.2, economy 2.97, strike rate 32.8.
