Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 41.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 2.61 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.22 dismissals per match across 23 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.61.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 2 · 4th grade 2). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 274 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 19.0, strike rate 41.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.00 per match at 20.8, economy 2.61, strike rate 47.7.
