Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 29.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 40 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 3 · 4th grade 11). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.19 per match at 17.2, economy 3.99, strike rate 25.8.
