Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 48.3 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 3.48 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 24 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.25 for the level played (Club 2 · 4th grade 15 · 5th grade and below 7). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 21 innings at 20.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
21 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.17 per match at 25.7, economy 3.48, strike rate 44.3.
