Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.0 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 69 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 546 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 16.0, strike rate 55.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 0.98 per match at 22.6, economy 3.67, strike rate 37.0.
