Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
47 of 65 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.21.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 108). 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: 34 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 108 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 83 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 94 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 108 played) — 1.18 per match at 18.8, economy 3.21, strike rate 35.1.
