Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.21 dismissals per match across 39 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 8 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 45.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
