Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 35.8 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 12% 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 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.52.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 26). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.81 per match at 15.3, economy 2.52, strike rate 36.5.
