Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 18.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.82 is excellent but a wicket every 66 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.54 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 24 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 84 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 17). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.88 per match at 41.9, economy 3.82, strike rate 65.8.
