Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 6.7 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 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.24 dismissals per match across 17 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 17). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 17 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
15 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.25 per match at 13.1, economy 2.77, strike rate 28.4.
