Biography

Strengths
Mental: Excellent leadership skills, supportive of team-mates, well-mannered, organised and respectful, accurate tactical insights into field setting and bowling changes.
Batting: Good pull and cut shot, getting weight back into the ball, good alignment and bat flow hitting through mid wicket, can hit in unusual areas.
Bowling: Repeatable aligned bowling action, swings the ball into the stumps.

Barriers
Batting: Aligns to the leg-side too often, rather than back towards the ball, sometimes lacks patience and plays too early.
Bowling: Falls away on release, potentially due to the run-up being too long.

Development opportunities
Bowling: Shorten the run-up to improve fluency, and fall away less at release, demonstrating better balance and alignment.
Batting: Demonstrate better alignment towards the bowlers stumps, playing the ball later. Continue to be aggressive.
