Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

2 of 3 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.91 is excellent but a wicket every 54 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×1.00 for the level played (National competition 8). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
56 runs in 5 innings, adjusted average 15.7, strike rate 63.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
19 wickets in 8 matches — 2.38 per match at 26.1, economy 2.91, strike rate 53.9.
