Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.58 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 12.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.81.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 36 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Rep Div 2 4 · Club 27). 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: 21 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 17.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.29 per match at 12.0, economy 2.81, strike rate 25.6.
