Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.4 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 0.07 catches per match over 29 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 not rated (weight redistributed). 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 20 wickets from 77.0 overs across 28 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.71 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
