Critical recommendations
1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 5.90 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 45 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (Rep Div 1 21 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.52 per match at 24.8, economy 5.90, strike rate 25.3.
