Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
7 of 14 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 0.14 catches per match over 21 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Economy of 2.98 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 13 · Club 4 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 434 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 28.2, strike rate 58.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 50.3 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
