Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Bowling average (25.1) beats batting average (24.8) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 279 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 51.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 1.11 per match at 25.1, economy 5.16, strike rate 29.2.
