Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.0 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. 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 44). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 44 matches — 1.09 per match at 11.2, economy 3.71, strike rate 18.1.
