Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 40.0 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 36 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 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
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 9 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 7 · 4th grade 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 19.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 35.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
