Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.5 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 11% 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 12.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.74.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 (2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 34 · 4th grade 71 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 25 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 90 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 163 wickets in 86 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.90 per match at 12.4, economy 2.74, strike rate 27.2.
