Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 39.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.73 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 245 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 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 199 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 30). 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: 43 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 245 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
3,389 runs in 238 innings, adjusted average 17.0, strike rate 39.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
201 wickets in 186 matches bowled in (of 245 played) — 1.08 per match at 32.7, economy 3.73, strike rate 52.5.
