Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 7.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.23 dismissals per match across 13 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 6.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.53.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 25.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 13 matches — 1.00 per match at 6.6, economy 2.53, strike rate 15.7.
