Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.56.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 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
- ×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 15 · Rep Div 1 15 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 29 · 4th grade 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: 22 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.47 per match at 19.9, economy 3.56, strike rate 33.5.
