Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 41.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.6 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 0.14 catches per match over 14 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.78 per match at 25.6, economy 4.16, strike rate 36.9.
