Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.49 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 14.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 43 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 2 · Club 41). 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: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 862 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 51.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.64 per match at 14.9, economy 4.58, strike rate 19.5.
