Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 77 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.78.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 90 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 1.23 per match at 19.8, economy 3.78, strike rate 31.4.
