Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
41 of 55 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 2.64 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (State competition 5 · 1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 15 · Club 32 · 4th grade 8 · 5th grade and below 14). 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: 24 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 74 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 1.17 per match at 20.5, economy 2.64, strike rate 46.6.
