Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 65.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.66 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 48 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 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 6 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.36 per match at 30.7, economy 3.66, strike rate 50.3.
