Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.7 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.24 dismissals per match across 144 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 137 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 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: 34 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 144 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
2,581 runs in 143 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 62.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
324 wickets in 143 matches bowled in (of 144 played) — 2.27 per match at 20.4, economy 3.12, strike rate 39.3.
