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.
1.2 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 6.76 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 38 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
