Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 35.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
4 of 8 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 0.08 catches per match over 48 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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
- ×0.27 for the level played (Club 2 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 28 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 48 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 24.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 32 wickets from 106.8 overs across 40 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.80 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
