Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 36.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.18 dismissals per match across 62 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.62.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 62). 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 62 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.26 per match at 16.5, economy 2.62, strike rate 37.6.
