Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
15 of 30 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.56.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 37 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 33). 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: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.35 per match at 16.0, economy 3.56, strike rate 27.0.
