Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 5.55 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.15 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 1 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.19 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 20.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.56 per match at 13.5, economy 5.55, strike rate 14.6.
