Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.33 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 42 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 42). 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: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 42 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 12 wickets from 78.8 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
