Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.24 dismissals per match across 62 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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
- ×0.44 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 20.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 72.0 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
