Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 26.8 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.
Economy of 3.73 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 31 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (State competition 5 · 1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 8 · 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.14 per match at 30.2, economy 3.73, strike rate 48.6.
