Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 18 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.
8 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 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 18 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 18 matches — 1.94 per match at 12.5, economy 3.75, strike rate 20.0.
