- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 2.93 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 121.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.93.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 44 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 44). 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: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 1,088 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 47.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.96 per match at 22.5, economy 2.93, strike rate 46.1.
