Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.9 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
6 of 11 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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.64 per match at 19.4, economy 4.64, strike rate 25.1.
