Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 31.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.18 dismissals per match across 28 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.65.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Rep Div 2 7 · Club 12 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 7). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 448 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 17.9, strike rate 31.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
