Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 22 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.57 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 10.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.62.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 30 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 4 · 4th grade 2). 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: 16 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.63 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 2.00 per match at 10.5, economy 2.62, strike rate 24.1.
