Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 22.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
9 of 16 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 26 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.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 24). 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 26 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 23.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 2.00 per match at 13.2, economy 4.10, strike rate 19.3.
