Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

57 of 81 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.78.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 84). 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: 18 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 87 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
51 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 1.24 per match at 14.7, economy 2.78, strike rate 31.8.
