Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.3 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 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 3 · 4th grade 15). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 22.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.21 per match at 26.4, economy 4.51, strike rate 35.1.
