Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 13 · Club 20). 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: 9 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 39 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
17 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.81 per match at 15.7, economy 4.34, strike rate 21.7.
