Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 43.0 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 29 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 1 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 20 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.33 per match at 19.6, economy 4.39, strike rate 26.9.
