Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.0 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.24 dismissals per match across 74 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 56 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
29 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.58 per match at 27.6, economy 4.92, strike rate 33.6.
