Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.0 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 13% 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 3.03 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 84 · 2nd grade 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: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 1,132 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 18.9, strike rate 50.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 126 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.59 per match at 25.2, economy 3.03, strike rate 49.9.
