Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 43.8 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 16% 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 2.27 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 56 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.27.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 56). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 50 innings at 19.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
66 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.29 per match at 16.3, economy 2.27, strike rate 43.1.
