Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.2 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.96 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.96.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 20 · Rep Div 1 35 · 2nd grade 31 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 7 · 4th grade 24). 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: 32 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 138 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 119 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 152 wickets in 114 matches bowled in (of 138 played) — 1.33 per match at 20.3, economy 2.96, strike rate 41.0.
