Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 51 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 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 51). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.67 per match at 14.9, economy 4.08, strike rate 21.9.
