Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.18 dismissals per match across 11 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Bowling average (38.8) beats batting average (28.4) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 9 · 2nd 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 237 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 28.4, strike rate 64.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.57 per match at 38.8, economy 4.08, strike rate 57.0.
