Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 46.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 69 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 131.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.74.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.83 for the level played (1st grade 65 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 2). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
833 runs in 58 innings, adjusted average 16.6, strike rate 46.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
130 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 2.03 per match at 15.3, economy 2.74, strike rate 33.5.
