Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
8 of 9 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 7 · Club 17). 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: 6 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.04 per match at 13.7, economy 3.34, strike rate 24.7.
