Critical recommendations

Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 63). 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: 14 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.25 per match at 13.4, economy 2.92, strike rate 27.5.
