Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.10 is excellent but a wicket every 93 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 34 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×1.00 for the level played (National competition 34). 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: 13 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 22.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.50 per match at 48.0, economy 3.10, strike rate 93.0.
