Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 46 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 (Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.25 per match at 11.8, economy 3.30, strike rate 21.5.
