Critical recommendations
8 of 16 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 0.05 catches per match over 19 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 12 · 3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 4). 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 19 matches — 1.32 per match at 20.5, economy 3.11, strike rate 39.6.
