Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.2 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 14% 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 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.93.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 25 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 25). 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: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.77 per match at 16.3, economy 2.93, strike rate 33.5.
