Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.9 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 20.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.86 per match at 10.1, economy 3.53, strike rate 17.2.
