Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 78 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% 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 14.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.08.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.42 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 38 · Club 35 · 4th 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: 10 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 58 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
89 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.20 per match at 14.4, economy 3.08, strike rate 28.1.
