Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.7 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.
Going at 6.67 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.00 catches per match over 45 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 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 15 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 11 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 20.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.41 per match at 44.7, economy 6.67, strike rate 40.2.
