Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.22 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 564 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 60.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.69 per match at 16.0, economy 4.04, strike rate 23.8.
