Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 20 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.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 32 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 11 · Club 20). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.79 per match at 12.9, economy 3.93, strike rate 19.7.
