Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.6 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (National competition 7 · 1st grade 28 · Rep Div 1 30 · 2nd grade 25 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 14 · 4th grade 1). 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: 33 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 92 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 133 wickets in 101 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 1.32 per match at 19.8, economy 3.32, strike rate 35.8.
