Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.8 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Rep Div 2 7 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.74 per match at 17.8, economy 4.22, strike rate 25.3.
