- ● Regional representative — 6 matches (+0.9)
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 16 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 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: 6 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 452 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 27.6, strike rate 51.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 20 matches — 2.35 per match at 13.4, economy 3.14, strike rate 25.6.
