Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 45.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
4 of 7 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.37 is excellent but a wicket every 70 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (39.4) beats batting average (30.0) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.37.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 27 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 6). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 221 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 30.0, strike rate 45.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 7 matches — 1.00 per match at 39.4, economy 3.37, strike rate 70.3.
