Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.15 dismissals per match across 33 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.42 per match at 15.3, economy 4.29, strike rate 21.4.
