Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 44.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
13 of 23 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 40 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.00 per match at 12.3, economy 3.52, strike rate 21.0.
