Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 63 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 38 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 7 · 4th grade 8). 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: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 883 runs in 58 innings, adjusted average 17.9, strike rate 46.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.81 per match at 20.8, economy 3.48, strike rate 35.9.
