Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.19 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 18 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 331 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 19.3, strike rate 64.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 122.5 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
