Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 2.70 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.17 dismissals per match across 41 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 15 · 4th grade 13). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 417 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 18.1, strike rate 46.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 2.00 per match at 19.2, economy 2.70, strike rate 42.7.
