Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.7 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 13% 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 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 48 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 44). 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: 11 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.82 per match at 15.0, economy 3.46, strike rate 26.1.
