Critical recommendations

Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 74 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 1,222 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 21.7, strike rate 51.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 117 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.46 per match at 13.0, economy 3.33, strike rate 23.5.
