Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
39 of 51 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 83 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 83). 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: 32 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,942 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 35.1, strike rate 60.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 140 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 1.92 per match at 16.2, economy 3.09, strike rate 31.5.
