Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.22 dismissals per match across 58 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 25.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.29 per match at 19.9, economy 4.45, strike rate 26.8.
