Critical recommendations

Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.1 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 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 75 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 148 wickets in 88 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 1.68 per match at 15.4, economy 3.43, strike rate 26.9.
