Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 40.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
37 of 50 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.19 dismissals per match across 47 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · 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
- ×0.56 for the level played (2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 1,211 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 24.1, strike rate 40.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
