Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 33.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 41 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.20 per match at 17.0, economy 2.89, strike rate 35.4.
