Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.28 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (State competition 2 · 1st grade 13 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 12). 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: 8 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.72 per match at 24.5, economy 3.28, strike rate 44.8.
