Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 40.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 24 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.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 10 · 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 18 wickets from 44.5 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
