Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 29.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 6 · Club 31). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 27.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 23.5 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
