Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.89 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding

0.61 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 10 hundred(s), best of 144.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 171). 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.
