Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 40.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 111 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 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
- ×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 71 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 2 · 4th grade 13). 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: 21 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 111 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 74 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 186 wickets in 107 matches bowled in (of 111 played) — 1.74 per match at 18.5, economy 3.15, strike rate 35.2.
