Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.16 dismissals per match across 55 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 29 · 4th grade 5). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 23.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 27.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
