- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 44.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
21 of 30 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.76 per match at 40.0, economy 4.37, strike rate 54.9.
