Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 6.00 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 10 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 132 runs in 6 innings, adjusted average 29.3, strike rate 62.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 2 wickets in 4 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 0.29 per match at 84.0, economy 6.00, strike rate 84.0.
