Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 33% 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 0 × 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
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 10). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 21.3 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
