Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
9 of 18 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.8 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.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 25 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.74 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 5 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 34.3 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.67 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
