Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 2.98 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 38 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 11 · Rep Div 1 15 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 5 · 4th grade 4). 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: 20 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.66 per match.
- Batting
- 802 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 27.5, strike rate 57.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.12 per match at 20.8, economy 2.98, strike rate 41.9.
