Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 43.4 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 Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.27 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.23 dismissals per match across 137 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 20 · Club 34 · 4th grade 44 · 5th grade and below 34). 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: 29 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 137 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 139 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
45 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 137 played) — 0.33 per match at 23.2, economy 3.27, strike rate 42.5.
