- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 38 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 20.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.16 per match at 20.7, economy 3.60, strike rate 34.6.
