Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
6 of 12 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 0.13 catches per match over 38 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 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 9 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.94 per match at 30.7, economy 5.22, strike rate 35.3.
