Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.68 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (25.5) beats batting average (23.2) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 23 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 15). 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: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 450 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 23.2, strike rate 52.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.95 per match at 25.5, economy 3.68, strike rate 41.6.
