Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.6 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 22 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.
Economy of 3.63 is excellent but a wicket every 126 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.0.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 11 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 14 · 3rd grade 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 638 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 33.0, strike rate 52.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.25 per match at 76.3, economy 3.63, strike rate 126.0.
