Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 40.0 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.02.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 40 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 29 · 4th grade 7). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 885 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 30.4, strike rate 40.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.18 per match at 18.0, economy 3.02, strike rate 35.7.
