Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 22 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.43 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 12.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.26.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 28 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 388 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 17.0, strike rate 58.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.29 per match at 12.0, economy 3.26, strike rate 22.1.
