Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.3 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.63.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 22 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 33.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.67 per match at 10.1, economy 2.63, strike rate 23.0.
