Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 22 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Economy of 2.76 is excellent but a wicket every 61 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (28.1) beats batting average (27.6) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.76.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 21 · Club 4 · 4th grade 2). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 621 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 27.6, strike rate 56.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.22 per match at 28.1, economy 2.76, strike rate 61.0.
