Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.72.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 29 · Club 34). 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: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.07 per match at 13.8, economy 2.72, strike rate 30.3.
