Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 59 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 81 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.32 per match at 8.3, economy 3.29, strike rate 15.1.
