Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.5 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
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.91 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
- ✓ Safe hands — 65 catches in 147 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 136 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 5). 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: 65 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 147 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 127 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 231 wickets in 139 matches bowled in (of 147 played) — 1.66 per match at 19.8, economy 2.91, strike rate 40.9.
