Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.2 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 20% 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 23 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 65). 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: 21 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 70 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 0.67 per match at 30.8, economy 4.13, strike rate 44.7.
