Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 40 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.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.04 per match at 23.5, economy 3.95, strike rate 35.7.
