Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.3 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 32 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 81 catches + 8 run outs (7 direct, 1 assisted) in 264 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 223 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
306 wickets in 215 matches bowled in (of 264 played) — 1.42 per match at 17.5, economy 3.45, strike rate 30.5.
