Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
13 of 26 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.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 33 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 1 · Club 32). 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 + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 445 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 16.7, strike rate 51.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 14.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
