Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 18.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 29 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.81 is excellent but a wicket every 57 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 24 · 2nd grade 5). 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: 4 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.61 per match at 36.4, economy 3.81, strike rate 57.3.
