Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
10 of 13 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.34 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (26.2) beats batting average (25.3) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 13 · 2nd grade 5). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
