Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.7 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

7 of 13 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.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.60 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 25 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 25). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.60 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
22 wickets in 25 matches — 0.88 per match at 21.2, economy 4.09, strike rate 31.1.
