Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
3 of 6 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.
1.1 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 9). 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 10 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 31.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.67 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
