Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.8 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
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 27). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 26.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
