Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.79 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 51 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.27 for the level played (Club 17 · 5th grade and below 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 763 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 18.3, strike rate 47.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.83 per match at 27.0, economy 3.79, strike rate 42.8.
