Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.06 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 14 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 3). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.94 per match at 26.5, economy 3.06, strike rate 51.9.
