Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
16 of 32 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 11% 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Rep Div 2 5 · 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: 16 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 1,006 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 29.1, strike rate 52.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 81 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.59 per match at 21.2, economy 3.42, strike rate 37.1.
