Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.64 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 21 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.81 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.20 per match at 28.7, economy 3.64, strike rate 47.3.
