Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 29.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.88 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (33.7) beats batting average (24.3) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 5 · 4th grade 2). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 24.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 26.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
