Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 48 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 14 · Club 17 · 4th grade 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,030 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 22.3, strike rate 46.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.29 per match at 13.2, economy 4.63, strike rate 17.1.
