Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 13 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
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 35.6 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 99 runs in 5 innings, adjusted average 35.6, strike rate 56.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.55 per match at 16.8, economy 3.17, strike rate 31.8.
