Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.1 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.29.
- ✓ Safe hands — 46 catches in 127 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 46 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,024 runs in 95 innings, adjusted average 15.3, strike rate 62.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 250 wickets in 121 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 2.07 per match at 14.8, economy 2.29, strike rate 38.7.
