Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
15 of 26 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.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 41 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.37.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 (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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.47 per match at 16.4, economy 3.37, strike rate 29.2.
