Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 54.4 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.70 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 15 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
589 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 16.0, strike rate 54.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 27 wickets from 189.0 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.82 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
