Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 31.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
6 of 11 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.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.83 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.23 dismissals per match across 13 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 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
- ×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 9 · 2nd grade 4). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.09 per match at 31.4, economy 3.83, strike rate 49.2.
