Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 36.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 5.59 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.18 dismissals per match across 44 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.68 per match at 32.2, economy 5.59, strike rate 34.5.
