Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 35.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.31.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 98 catches in 267 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 97 · Club 20 · 4th grade 135). 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: 98 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 267 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 161 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
487 wickets in 258 matches bowled in (of 267 played) — 1.89 per match at 14.1, economy 2.31, strike rate 36.7.
