Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.55 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 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.48.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 20 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 14 · Club 1). 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: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 19.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.15 per match at 11.1, economy 2.48, strike rate 26.8.
