Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.5 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.
0.15 dismissals per match across 26 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.62 per match at 17.7, economy 4.24, strike rate 25.1.
