Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.2 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 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 15.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 116 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.78 per match at 15.6, economy 2.91, strike rate 32.2.
