Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.9 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.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 31 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 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 19.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.56 per match at 26.1, economy 5.46, strike rate 28.7.
