Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 27.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
22 of 30 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.56 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 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 36 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 35). 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: 20 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 25.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.80 per match at 15.4, economy 3.48, strike rate 26.5.
