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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (Rep Div 1 38 · Club 58). 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: 37 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,883 runs in 93 innings, adjusted average 21.6, strike rate 62.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 0.39 per match at 16.7, economy 4.00, strike rate 25.0.
