Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
- ✓ Safe hands — 50 catches in 132 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 121). 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: 50 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 132 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 127 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 132 played) — 1.08 per match at 17.5, economy 3.45, strike rate 30.4.
