Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.17 dismissals per match across 12 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 12). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 12 matches — 1.17 per match at 17.5, economy 4.57, strike rate 23.0.
