Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.91 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 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: 11 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 23.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.64 per match at 33.1, economy 3.91, strike rate 50.7.
