Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 27.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.15 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 38 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 24 · 4th grade 14). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.04 per match at 22.7, economy 3.15, strike rate 43.1.
