Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.9 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.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 62 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 51). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.05 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.68 per match at 17.9, economy 4.32, strike rate 24.8.
