Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 48.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

17 of 33 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.66 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 38 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 38). 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
Keeping: 20 catches + 3 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.63 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 41 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
8 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.21 per match at 17.4, economy 3.83, strike rate 27.3.
