Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 45.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.49 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 (State competition 7 · Rep Div 1 5 · Club 23). 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: 7 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 18.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.21 per match at 30.7, economy 3.49, strike rate 52.8.
