Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
2 of 4 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 5). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 100 runs in 5 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 57.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 4 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 1.00 per match at 11.4, economy 3.33, strike rate 20.6.
