Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 32 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 2 · 4th grade 10 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 27.7 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
