Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.74 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 31 matches (0.74 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 25 · 5th grade and below 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.71 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 2.00 per match at 12.1, economy 3.33, strike rate 21.8.
