Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 11% 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 15.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.66 per match at 15.2, economy 4.41, strike rate 20.7.
