Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.2 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 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 43). 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: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 1,014 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 28.5, strike rate 54.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.34 per match at 17.9, economy 3.49, strike rate 30.7.
