Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 5.56 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.71 per match at 29.6, economy 5.56, strike rate 31.9.
