Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.4 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.79 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.9.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 29 matches (0.79 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 7 · Club 21). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.59 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 26 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
22 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.57 per match at 14.9, economy 4.07, strike rate 21.9.
