Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 126 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 30 · Rep Div 1 44 · 2nd grade 40 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 1 · 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: 22 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 126 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 100 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 212 wickets in 119 matches bowled in (of 126 played) — 1.78 per match at 17.4, economy 3.20, strike rate 32.6.
