- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 9 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 35.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
7 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.60.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 7). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 4 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.22 per match at 9.7, economy 2.60, strike rate 22.5.
