Critical recommendations

Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.78.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 15 · 4th grade 6). 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.16 per match at 18.3, economy 3.78, strike rate 29.0.
