Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 18.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Bowling average (23.8) beats batting average (18.8) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 25 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 10). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 25 matches — 1.20 per match at 23.8, economy 3.80, strike rate 37.5.
