Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 41.4 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
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 9 · 4th grade 7). 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: 8 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.53 per match at 35.3, economy 4.01, strike rate 52.8.
