Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.94 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 11 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 32 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 12). 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: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.71 per match at 30.4, economy 3.94, strike rate 46.2.
