Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.25 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (1st grade 81 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 38 · Club 15). 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: 42 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 135 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 118 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 220 wickets in 126 matches bowled in (of 135 played) — 1.75 per match at 23.2, economy 3.25, strike rate 42.8.
