Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 20 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

info General
Small sample size

Only 3 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 19). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 3 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
23 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.44 per match at 12.6, economy 3.25, strike rate 23.3.
