Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.7 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 10 · 5th grade and below 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 25.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.17 per match at 17.9, economy 3.32, strike rate 32.3.
