Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.4 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.22 dismissals per match across 64 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 14 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 22 · 4th grade 3). 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: 11 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.21 per match at 19.6, economy 5.22, strike rate 22.5.
