Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.6 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 43 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (State competition 9 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 28). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.57 per match at 23.4, economy 4.73, strike rate 29.7.
