Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.0 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.37.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 66 catches in 162 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 8 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 65 catches + 12 run outs (10 direct, 2 assisted) in 162 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 112 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
178 wickets in 137 matches bowled in (of 162 played) — 1.30 per match at 17.0, economy 3.37, strike rate 30.3.
