Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.2 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 49 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 46). 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: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.80 per match at 18.3, economy 3.38, strike rate 32.4.
