Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 25.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
21 of 41 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.67 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.19 dismissals per match across 52 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 not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 52). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 115.0 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.81 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
