Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 54.2 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 2.84 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.84.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 55 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.59 for the level played (2nd grade 35 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 25 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
582 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 24.2, strike rate 54.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
101 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.94 per match at 20.0, economy 2.84, strike rate 42.2.
