Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · 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 8). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
143 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 29.2, strike rate 63.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
11 wickets in 5 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 2.20 per match at 15.5, economy 3.95, strike rate 23.5.
