Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 36.2 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 3.32 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 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
- ×0.21 for the level played (4th grade 19 · 5th grade and below 34). 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: 18 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.90 per match at 25.1, economy 3.32, strike rate 45.4.
