Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 44.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 34 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.75.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Club 25 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 881 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 25.8, strike rate 44.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.70 per match at 13.0, economy 2.75, strike rate 28.3.
