- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 7 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 33.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 25.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 7.7 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
