Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.8 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 21% 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 17.3.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 69 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 16 · 4th grade 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 22.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.12 per match at 17.3, economy 3.92, strike rate 26.5.
