Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
7 of 13 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.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 31 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. 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 15 · 3rd grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.65 per match at 38.3, economy 4.20, strike rate 54.7.
