Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
14 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.72 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 20.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.70 per match at 26.6, economy 3.72, strike rate 42.9.
