- ● Body of work — 68 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 31.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.68 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 68 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 23 · Club 45). 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: 31 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.73 per match at 25.5, economy 3.68, strike rate 41.5.
