Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 30.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.79 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.21 for the level played (Club 1 · 5th grade and below 38). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.86 per match at 32.3, economy 3.79, strike rate 51.2.
