Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 66 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.64 for the level played (Rep Div 1 25 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 35 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 26 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 63 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
56 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 1.04 per match at 16.8, economy 4.10, strike rate 24.5.
