Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.2 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.
Economy of 3.72 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.73 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (30.9) beats batting average (26.4) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 116.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 15 matches (0.73 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.80 per match.
- Batting
- 427 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 26.4, strike rate 53.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 15 matches — 1.40 per match at 30.9, economy 3.72, strike rate 49.9.
