Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 45.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 37 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (State competition 4 · 1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 11 · Club 19 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 17.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.52 per match at 34.7, economy 4.18, strike rate 49.8.
