Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 55 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 12 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 36 · 4th grade 1). 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: 20 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 835 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 64.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.44 per match at 20.0, economy 3.06, strike rate 39.2.
