Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 58 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.
Economy of 3.99 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · 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 2 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 525 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 18.8, strike rate 58.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 39 wickets from 304.0 overs across 52 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
