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.
14 of 27 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 26 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 16 · 3rd 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: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 22.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.35 per match at 17.6, economy 3.51, strike rate 30.0.
