Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.79 per match at 16.0, economy 4.08, strike rate 23.5.
