Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 72 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (1st grade 14 · 2nd grade 38 · 3rd grade 11 · Club 2 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 104 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 1.68 per match at 16.2, economy 3.27, strike rate 29.7.
