Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 16 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
303 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 57.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
48 wickets in 21 matches — 2.29 per match at 14.9, economy 3.17, strike rate 28.3.
