Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 78 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · Club 62). 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: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.00 per match at 14.8, economy 3.13, strike rate 28.5.
