Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 38.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.90 is excellent but a wicket every 63 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.18 dismissals per match across 44 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 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 1 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 27). 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: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.10 per match at 41.0, economy 3.90, strike rate 63.1.
