Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Bowling average (56.5) beats batting average (39.4) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 39.4 (frequently not out).
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · Club 4). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 5 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 105 runs in 4 innings, adjusted average 39.4, strike rate 49.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 22.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 5 played) — 0.40 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
