Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 33.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.89 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 47). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.12 per match at 19.8, economy 2.89, strike rate 41.1.
