Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 36.6 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.76 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.76.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Club 59). 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: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 59 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
68 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.21 per match at 18.5, economy 2.76, strike rate 40.3.
