Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.7.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 2). 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 6 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 264 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 37.7, strike rate 52.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 5 matches bowled in (of 6 played) — 2.20 per match at 17.2, economy 3.15, strike rate 32.7.
