Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
8 of 15 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.54 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 6.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.41.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 28 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 83 × 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 3 · Club 25). 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: 13 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 28 matches — 1.07 per match at 6.5, economy 2.41, strike rate 16.2.
