Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 41.9 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 36 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 3.72 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 (3rd grade 2 · Club 1 · 4th grade 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.86 per match at 31.9, economy 3.72, strike rate 51.4.
