- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 26 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 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.77 per match at 26.4, economy 5.05, strike rate 31.3.
