Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 38.5 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.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 26 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 21.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.52 per match at 19.5, economy 3.67, strike rate 31.8.
