Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 39 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Economy of 3.56 is excellent but a wicket every 68 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 90.3 overs across 30 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.27 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
