Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 43.0 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.13 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 158 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 12 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 33 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 161 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
140 wickets in 132 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 1.06 per match at 28.6, economy 3.13, strike rate 54.8.
