Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.5 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 3.35.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 35 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 (Rep Div 1 28 · Club 6). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 533 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 56.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.00 per match at 18.2, economy 3.35, strike rate 32.6.
