Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 31.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 21 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 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 21). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 33.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
