Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.8 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 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 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
- ×0.29 for the level played (Club 38 · 5th grade and below 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 6 run outs (0 direct, 6 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 111 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.37 per match at 17.2, economy 3.46, strike rate 29.9.
