Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.25 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 103 · 2nd grade 15 · Club 2). 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: 25 catches + 15 run outs (15 direct, 0 assisted) in 120 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 1,751 runs in 101 innings, adjusted average 22.7, strike rate 42.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 192 wickets in 116 matches bowled in (of 120 played) — 1.66 per match at 22.8, economy 3.25, strike rate 42.1.
