Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.12 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.8.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 6 hundred(s), best of 140.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 163). 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.

Outfield: 44 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 163 matches — 0.31 per match.

4,350 runs in 163 innings, adjusted average 31.8, strike rate 58.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
