Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
2 of 3 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.
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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 38 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 125 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 25.4, strike rate 55.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 9 matches — 0.67 per match at 19.3, economy 4.87, strike rate 23.8.
