Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.8 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 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 28). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 26 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
46 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 2.19 per match at 15.9, economy 3.06, strike rate 31.0.
