Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 18 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.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.72 per match at 25.7, economy 4.64, strike rate 33.2.
