Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.6 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 3.24 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.24 dismissals per match across 59 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 100.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 53 · Rep Div 1 5 · Club 1). 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: 12 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
1,324 runs in 55 innings, adjusted average 28.0, strike rate 62.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
93 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.82 per match at 22.1, economy 3.24, strike rate 40.8.
