Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
3 of 6 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 0.00 catches per match over 15 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 14 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 218 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 58.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.29 per match at 49.5, economy 4.21, strike rate 70.5.
