Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.82.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 527 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 46.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.46 per match at 13.5, economy 2.82, strike rate 28.8.
