Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.8 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 65 · 2nd grade 4). 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: 16 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 75 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
80 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.45 per match at 19.9, economy 3.23, strike rate 36.9.
