Critical recommendations
6 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.65 is excellent but a wicket every 98 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (59.2) beats batting average (32.6) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 5). 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 5 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- 200 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 32.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 5 matches — 0.80 per match at 59.3, economy 3.65, strike rate 97.5.
