Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.3 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.99.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 40 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 40). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.30 per match at 14.2, economy 2.99, strike rate 28.6.
