Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
42 of 59 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.84 per match at 24.4, economy 4.52, strike rate 32.4.
