Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 35.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
2 of 4 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.
Economy of 2.55 is excellent but a wicket every 63 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.20 dismissals per match across 15 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 8). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 23.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.46 per match at 26.7, economy 2.55, strike rate 62.8.
