Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 2.66 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.66.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 78 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 26 · Club 33). 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: 32 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 20.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 109 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.49 per match at 18.5, economy 2.66, strike rate 41.7.
