- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.66 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 150.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 20 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.92 for the level played (State competition 20). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 549 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 30.4, strike rate 51.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.74 per match at 30.1, economy 3.66, strike rate 49.4.
