Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.7 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.54.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 75). 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: 20 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.35 per match at 18.6, economy 3.54, strike rate 31.5.
