Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.65 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 29 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 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 12 · 4th grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.61 per match at 31.5, economy 3.65, strike rate 51.8.
