Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.1 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 43 catches in 110 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 5 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 42 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 81 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 92 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 0.72 per match at 21.1, economy 4.81, strike rate 26.3.
