Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 38.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.99 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 13 · Club 1 · 4th grade 11 · 5th grade and below 9). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 25.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.96 per match at 27.3, economy 3.99, strike rate 41.0.
