Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 15.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
16 of 22 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 40 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 39). 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: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.31 per match at 16.2, economy 2.98, strike rate 32.6.
