Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.2 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (State competition 9 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 8 run outs (7 direct, 1 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 98 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.61 per match at 15.7, economy 3.14, strike rate 30.0.
