Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 120 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.97.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 35 · Club 85). 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: 19 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 120 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 1,452 runs in 77 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 51.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 136 wickets in 108 matches bowled in (of 120 played) — 1.26 per match at 16.5, economy 2.97, strike rate 33.2.
