Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.17 is excellent but a wicket every 61 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 28 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 (Rep Div 1 2 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 17.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.71 per match at 32.4, economy 3.17, strike rate 61.3.
