Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 19.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 21 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 20 · 4th grade 1). 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 21 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 22.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.90 per match at 15.0, economy 3.65, strike rate 24.7.
