Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.6 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 3.94 is excellent but a wicket every 54 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 17 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 4). 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: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.78 per match at 35.3, economy 3.94, strike rate 53.7.
