Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.8 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.66 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info General
Bowling currently the stronger suit

Bowling average (30.8) beats batting average (23.9) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 108.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.68 for the level played (1st grade 42 · 2nd grade 50 · Club 2). 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: 30 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
2,095 runs in 99 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 50.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
49 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 1.02 per match at 30.8, economy 3.66, strike rate 50.6.
