Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 32.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 70 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (State competition 2 · 1st grade 2 · Club 66). 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: 11 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 934 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 32.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 113 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.71 per match at 11.1, economy 2.92, strike rate 22.8.
