Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.08 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 141.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.08.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 17 · Club 104 · 4th grade 1). 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: 31 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 142 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 2,535 runs in 123 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 63.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 142 played) — 0.95 per match at 21.0, economy 3.08, strike rate 40.9.
