Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.4 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

32 of 59 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.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.11 catches per match over 134 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 134 matches — 0.11 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 102 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
131 wickets in 131 matches bowled in (of 134 played) — 1.00 per match at 10.2, economy 3.27, strike rate 18.8.
