- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
6 of 11 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (Club 11 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 21.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 1.27 per match at 15.3, economy 3.36, strike rate 27.3.
