Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 38.1 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 46 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 40). 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: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.41 per match at 17.1, economy 3.93, strike rate 26.1.
