Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.52 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.60 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (23.6) beats batting average (18.6) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 15 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 6). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- 318 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 18.7, strike rate 57.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.60 per match at 23.6, economy 3.52, strike rate 40.1.
