Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.73 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.73.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 88 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.81 for the level played (National competition 4 · 1st grade 36 · Rep Div 1 33 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 5). 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: 33 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 98 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.06 per match at 19.4, economy 2.73, strike rate 42.6.
