Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
18 of 36 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 54 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Rep Div 2 8 · Club 39). 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: 23 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 807 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 21.0, strike rate 61.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.88 per match at 17.0, economy 3.33, strike rate 30.6.
